Springing out of Winter

I have seen quite a few pumps come in that were stored for a while.  These pumps come in “not priming” or “no pressure”.  If your pump has been stored for some time (over a month), you should first try the pump out with water.  That way, if it doesn’t work right, you don’t have a pump full of paint that won’t function.  If a pump comes in with any material in it, we charge a “Haz Mat” fee.

If your pump primes but won’t build up pressure, it may have something clogging up the valve inside the fluid section.  I would prime and run Lacquer Thinner through the pump.  LT will break up and dissolve most paints, over time.  If your problem is a small bit of paint holding the piston valve open, it may break it loose.

The best solution for this is to store your pumps dry.  Clean them out as per our instructions, then disconnect the hose and run the pump just long enough to pump out all of the liquid, then shut off immediately.  My customers that do this regularly, do not have any problems with pump storage.

Rough Late Winter

Here it is the end of March and we are now getting our (real) winter weather.  As I sit in the office, the roll-up door sounds like someone is beating on it with a club.  I can hear the rain pounding on the 2nd story roof!

Man, am I glad that I have a secondary income!  This winter, I survived on my eXfuze income.  It exceeded the net income from Airless.  (Not that it took much to do so)  I am also looking at a company called Greenfoot Global.  They have an additive that you put in your fuel tank that is supposed to help catalyze the fuel.  Hence, better fuel millage, smoother running engine, longer engine life, more horsepower, etc.  I am trying it out in the company vehicles.  The cost of the product should be recovered in better fuel millage and then profits will climb from there.  We’ll see.  It is a 3 year old company, but as a network, still in “pre-launch”, so it is a good time to get into the company.

Winter Precautions

Winter has descended with a definite chill.  Make sure that all of your equipment is stored inside, preferably in a heated area.  Any equipment that cannot be stored inside, make sure that it is fully covered and any and all valves are left in the open position.  All spray guns and hoses should be emptied and left disconnected.  Drain all fuel from engines, or run dry.  All wooden ladders should be inside.  Freezing temperatures will dry them out and crack the wood.

Now is the time to make a big push in your secondary business.  You do have one, yes?  If not now, when?

Winter is here

With the onset of Winter weather, we must remember to “winterize” our property.  This includes making sure that all hoses are disconnected from paint sprayers and pressure washers.  Garden hoses must be disconnected too.  Cover all equipment that isn’t stored in a heated environment.  For gas powered equipment, drain the fuel or add fuel stabilizers to the fuel.  All paints and supplies must be moved indoors.  We will have an occasional freeze, and these will be ruined and then disposed of (haz mat fees).

Remember to pursue all new business avenues.  Answer all phone calls and return all messages.  These bids will be needed for the spring and now is the time to get as many as possible for that time.  All of your free time now should be used to acquire business and goodwill for the spring.

If you have had the foresight to have a secondary income, Good For You!  Take a serious run at it now.  It will pay back ten fold!

the Rains have begun

As is usual for November, the rains have started this weekend.  Thankfully, construction has started to rise off of the floor.  After 2 years of free-fall, this year has been sporadic, but fairly level.  Most of my customers have reported an increase in business over the last few years.  It has been a time of survival.  Most of our competition has closed their doors and/or moved away.

Secondary incomes have saved many of us.  Either a spouse's income or a secondary income of our own.  eXfuze has provided me with such an opportunity.  It has improved my health and taken me out of the “gimpy” lifestyle as well.  Remember though; keep a secondary income, even after your business recovers.  Construction and all of the businesses that are related to it will always have high and low cycles.  They have since I started in 1970 and will forever.  The peaks and valleys are of different highs and lows, but they are still there.  eXfuze even has the potential of exceeding and becoming the larger income within 2 or 3 years.  When the secondary becomes larger than the primary, that’s a cushion!!

Interested in an extra $3000.00 per month?

If I could show you a way that you could start earning an extra $3000 a month in residual income within the next 8 weeks, that had a strong potential to triple over the next few weeks, would that catch your attention?  I have been preaching for years that all of us in construction related jobs need a secondary income to smooth out the valleys.

The energy drink industry is a 9 Billion dollar a year industry, projected by many economists to be a 50 Billion dollar a year industry by the end of this decade. Fifteen percent of all people in the US consume energy drinks on a daily basis. For the 85% who are not yet using them the reason they give most often is that they are all unhealthy. What we have done is create the first ever all natural, healthy energy drink! No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic caffeine and no sodium benzoate! And it tastes GREAT!!  No fooling.  No jitters and No crash.  According to a study reported recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, they said that one of our ingredients, green tea extract, had a significant effect on fat oxidation. Now, let me ask you another question. Do you know anyone that uses energy drinks? Do you use energy drinks? Well, would you rather SPEND money using energy drinks or MAKE money using energy drinks?

Now what if I told you that all you had to do to begin earning an extra $3000 dollars a month in residual income within the next 8 weeks is to simply find two people anywhere in the United States to redirect their spending, and instead of consuming an unhealthy energy drink they switch to the only healthy energy drink that provides all natural energy in a whole food base. It is far and away the best tasting energy drink that you have ever tasted. And it is only $1.32 per serving.

 

Enter eXfuze GreenZILLA.  Let me show you how to get started making this kind of money. First, you need to join eXfuze as a distributer and get your replicated website. This allows you to do business all over the world. That will cost you $40. (that is $40.00 per year, with no monthly charges).  Next, you are going to want to get your hands on some product. You need to start with at least one case. There are 4 boxes of 10 bottles, or 40 (2.5oz) bottles in a case. Each bottle cost $3.95. There are 3 servings per bottle. That comes out to $1.32 cents per serving.   A case costs $159.80. So your total cost for getting started would be $199.80. I will now show you how to get all that back in your first month. (In doing so, your energy drinks will be free.)   What do you do with those 40 bottles? You are going to drink one a day (or less), and give 10 (or more) away.  When you give someone a bottle, have them drink some immediately. Then have them listen to one of our live calls or a 4 minute pre-recorded message.  (469-272-4644 – ZILLA  AND 877- 434-1015 nutritional products)  For every ten samples that you give away, a minimum of two people will want to get started with you. If you do this within your first week you will earn a minimum of $60 dollars. In week two, just have them do what you did. In week two you will earn a minimum of $30 dollars. As this process is duplicated, week three will bring you a minimum of $40 dollars. And week 4 will bring you a minimum of $80 dollars. This will bring your total monthly earnings to at least $210 dollars, which more than covers your cost of getting started. AND you have been drinking your energy drink for free!  As you begin week 5, you have no more product left. So what should you do? Buy another case of 40 bottles. And what will you do with them.? Drink one a day and give 10 away. As this process continues to duplicate, in week 5 you will earn over $160 dollars. Week 6 jumps to approximately $500 dollars. Week 7 to approximately $1000 and in week 8 approximately $1,840, for a total of $3,500 in your 2nd month! And what have you done? You have found two people anywhere in the US to redirect their spending, and begin drinking the healthiest, best tasting, least expensive drink on the market.  They aren’t buying anything new or changing their budget in any way except to be drinking a healthy drink and saving money doing so.  But why stop at two people? When you bring in a third person, your income can go as high as $2,000 dollars a week! A fourth person can get you up to $3,000 dollars a week. A fifth $5,000 dollars a week, a sixth $7,500 a week, and a seventh can get you up to $20,000 A WEEK!!  And yes, it is being done. I spoke to a distributer I know last weekend, that is currently making that amount.
